Global In-House Centers Mitigating Risks. Enhancing Reputation. Optimizing Returns.
Global in-house centers in India from cost drivers to business enablers 1990s 2000 onwards 2010 onwards The future Global in-house centers (GICs) were first established in India during the late 1990s with a focus on cost reduction by utilizing inexpensive technical resources and relatively affordable real estate. In the next decade, GICs in India expanded their horizons and evolved from providing back-end support to becoming multifunctional centers of excellence. By 2010, almost 700 GICs had been established in India after rapid expansion, and a paradigm shift occurred with GICs becoming value creators instead of cost centers, providing value-added services through innovation in service delivery and management with a clear vision of becoming centers of excellence for better productivity and efficiency. India currently has over 1,000 GICs operating across numerous sectors 1, including IT and ITeS, engineering and software development, BFSI, telecom, BPO services, etc., with growing concentration in the aerospace, healthcare, pharma, and biotech industries. In the IT and ITeS sector alone, GICs in India account for US$19 billion in export revenues (over 20% of the industry export revenue), and employ over 7,00,000 people. The future of GICs in India is very promising. The shared service center tag is all set to change as GICs become strategic centers with better leadership from the parent organizations and global transparent governance. At times, the growth in GICs may have been accompanied by rising exposure to fraud, misconduct, and non-compliance, along with operational challenges such as difficulty in retaining skilled employees, productivity and quality issues, rising costs and augmentation of robotics, but GICs are working to overcome the challenges and are likely to continue growing rapidly. 1 Sources: https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/deloitte/us/documents/process-and-operations/us-sdt-taking-global-in-house.pdf, http://www.nasscom.in/ global-in-house-centres 02
